One of my friends is a mod of a very large subreddit that went private for the blackout. Last night she received a message saying that she had been stripped of her moderator rights and the subreddit was taken public again. To be very clear, the subreddit members had specifically voted in favor of going private.

It seems like reddit will stoop lower and lower to try and break the blackout. I'm seething.

It looks like a lot of the comments that taytay made explaining what was going on have been deleted but https://www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/comments/12f8mwz/moderator_announcement_all_bot_posts_and_comments/ shows some of her activity as a mod, https://www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/comments/147g2b8/i_dont_know_if_we_are_already_but_we_need_to_shut/ is where she confirmed that the subreddit was going to go private, and this is the poll showing the community decision
